art is an essential subject for children at school

1.    Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

One of the highly controversial topics today relates to whether art is a crucial subject for schoolchildren or not. In this essay, I am going to shed some light on this question from both points of view and then give my own opinion on the matter.
On one side of the argument, some people argue that the benefits of art as an academic subject considerably outweigh its disadvantages. The main reason for believing this is that art is the translation of the imagination of an individual on paper; thus, art aids students in broadening their thinking. It is also possible to say that art acts as a medium for shy pupils to express their emotions directly. One good illustration of this is that children express their love and emotions for their parents by creating a birthday card using their creativity, provided they had learned this art at the school level. Therefore, it is easy to see why this argument has gained support.
On the other hand, people often argue that art is just a waste of time. People often have this opinion because students are already burdened with other academic subjects; thus adding art subjects will enhance that study load. Additionally, nowadays there are no job prospects for students in art; consequently, they opt for other vocational subjects. To exemplify, students choose either science or commerce stream, which has jobs available in abundance. Hence, this viewpoint is credible and realistic.  
In my opinion, both arguments have their merits. On balance, however, I tend to believe that art should be an optional subject keeping in mind that the job prospect of students is of utmost importance

Accommodation and transport problems

-
  Accommodation and transport problems are increasing in many large cities. Businesses are encouraged to move to rural areas. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages? In the modernization era, many problems occur in metropolitan cities like accommodation and transport. The movement of an organization from urban to rural areas has become the solution to eradicate such issues. There are a lot of positive and negative outcomes of this. On the one side, it is ridiculous to say that any business can shift from an urban area to the countryside without facing any loss. Firstly, this change may cost a firm due to a reduction in the quality of its workforce. Not each employee is willing to resettle or work there. And they prefer seeking another career in the large city to maintain their current living standards. The enterprises would have to hire local workers who are, indeed,  less competent. The expenses for the mandatory training courses are significant to them. But an improvement in t...

big cities face several problems

-
People living in big cities face several problems. What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to smaller towns?   In recent times, most people like to live in urban areas. Individuals of the  metropolitan  city face various difficulties like crime, pollution, and health disease. From my perspective, the government should apply some norms to mitigate the preceding problems. The  predominant  cause to live in city places is a crime. In highly populated areas, the risk of encountering a crowd is much higher than in a small town. Additionally, if the culprit feels protected by the  anonymity  that a large city provides, he may  perpetrate  more wrongdoings. Furthermore, air pollution is also a prevalent issue in major cities. Surface transportation is the  predominan t source of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause respiratory problems to the people. This problem is made worse by the  utter  number of ve...

rich countries to fill vacancies in specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine

-
  More and more qualified people are moving from poor to rich countries to fill vacancies in specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine.  Some people believe that by encouraging the movement of such people, rich countries are stealing from poor countries. Others feel that this is only part of the natural movement of workers around the world. Do you agree or disagree? The movement of qualified professionals from underdeveloped countries to developed countries is called brain drain. Some people think that this is not good for underdeveloped nations because of this brain drain process. On the other hand, some people believe that this is the natural movement of skilled workers in other countries. In my perspective, it is the need of everyone who is seeking a good lifestyle. There are several reasons for the migration of professional workers from poor countries to rich countries. First of all, the developed nations do not have enough source of skilled workers. Theref...
